We divide 799885 by 42
We want to divide 799885 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 79 / 42

On to step 2:
When dividing 79 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 79 and we're left with 37.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 379 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 goes into 379 9 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 378 from 379.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 190.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 188 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 188 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1904.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 168 from 188.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 205 / 42

Step 6:
42 can be fit into 205 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19044.0
If we subtract 168 from 205, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
42 can be fit into 370 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 19044.8
Deduct 336 from 370 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19044.88
If we subtract 336 from 340, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final result is 19044.88 with a remainder of 0.004.
